Cobb school system makes music video
If you've never seen school district employees hip hopping to dance music, now's your chance. A team of broadcast production students in Cobb County got scores of grownups to goof for the camera -- strutting and lip synching in homemade costumes -- for a music video welcoming new superintendent Michael Hinojosa to the district.
The video, set to the foot-tapping tune "Dynamite" by British artist Taio Cruz, was choreographed and produced by students from Harrison High School. "It's a fun way to introduce Dr. Hinojosa to school staff and get everyone into the back-to-school spirit," school district spokesman Doug Goodwin said.
It was shot in two hours last month, and the only cost for the district was the $100 to rent the video equipment, Goodwin said.
